I'm running for Wisconsin State Assembly District 14 to make a difference for you. My parents immigrated to the United States from the Philippines in hopes to find a better life. They raised me and my siblings in West Allis because of the wonderful people, neighborhoods, and opportunities here. I grew up in a union household right here in District 14. My parents instilled in me the importance of giving back and serving others, and these are the values that drive me with everything I do. From my time in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, to my service on the West Allis Common Council, and with my work in public education, I have the experience needed to make real change in our community. Together, we can fight climate change, invest in our public schools, expand healthcare access, and advocate for good-paying union jobs. I believe in a Wisconsin where all people, from every background, can live and thrive. I believe better is possible. I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail and hope to earn your support. Thank you!

Elected officials must be able to build meaningful relationships and coalitions in order to make a positive difference. Elected officials should be public servants who put the community first. Elected officials should be committed to reimagining what is possible and then must be able to organize to make real change.

My story begins with my parents. Mom and Dad immigrated to the United States from the Philippines in hopes of finding a better life. My parents believed in the American Dream and they instilled in me the values of hard work, giving back to the community and service to others.
